The post Michael Saylor’s Strategy Adds 155 BTC Worth $18M, Nears 3% of All Bitcoin appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Michael Saylor is still on a buying spree. Between August 4 and 10, his company Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) picked up another 155 Bitcoin for around $18 million. The purchase price is a steep $116,401 per coin.
This latest buy takes Strategy’s total holdings to 628,946 BTC – worth about $76 billion at today’s prices. That’s almost 3% of Bitcoin’s entire 21 million supply, giving Saylor a position few in the corporate world can match.
Here are the deets.
Funded Through Stock Sales
The purchase was funded through proceeds from STRF ATM share sales and the previously completed initial public offering of STRC. Last week, Strategy sold 115,169 STRF shares, raising $13.6 million, with $1.87 billion still available under that program.
In total, the company has more than $47 billion in funding capacity left across its various stock offerings. This is part of Saylor’s “84/84” plan (up from 42/42) – a massive program to raise $84 billion for Bitcoin purchases by 2027.
$30 Billion in Gains on Paper
Strategy’s Bitcoin was bought at an average price of $73,288. With current prices much higher, the company is sitting on roughly $30 billion in unrealized gains.
That profit surge helped Strategy post a record $10 billion net income in Q2 2025, boosted by new accounting rules that let companies report Bitcoin at fair value.
Saylor summed up his approach in a Sunday post: “If you don’t stop buying Bitcoin, you won’t stop making money.”
Still the Largest Corporate Holder
No one else in the corporate Bitcoin race comes close. The next biggest holders – MARA, Tether-backed Twenty One, Riot Platforms, and others – are far behind in total BTC.
While some analysts worry about the company’s premium-to-NAV valuation, others point to its low debt and no repayments until 2028. Saylor says the company could survive even a 90% drop in Bitcoin’s price for up to five years.
Given Saylor’s track record, it’s safe to say this isn’t the last Bitcoin purchase announcement we’ll see this year.
